Has anyone else found it hard to wrap your minds around the weight you have lost? What I mean is...I sometimes forget that I can now wear a smaller size. I still find myself going to the same regular stores that have plus sizes. It hasn't totally kicked in that yes...I can just go grab an outfit from almost any store now. I guess since I have been limited for years on my selection of stores, its hard to deviate sometimes. I have also went down one whole shoe size and is able to wear very high heels comfortably. So slowly but surely I am getting my sexy(er) back. Lol.

Ms Diva you look amazing. I love the fact that your body appears to be losing in all areas at the same time.

My shoe size went down from a 9/9.5 to a 8/8.5 ... I had to purge all my shoes.

I'm having a hard time shopping too. I started out in a 3x and now I'm rocking a Med/Lg and 12/14. I've had a ball closet jumping in my 21 and 10 year old girls closet. They got the nerve to get mad... But I buy everything. LOL

Yes girl!!! I have left Old Navy several times with NOTHING because I couldn't wrap my head around purchasing a dress in a size large. I thought to myself that can't actually need a large so it must go back on the rack.

You look great. Wow your shoe size shrunk by a whole size.....impressive. I'm looking forward to that. I haven't had my surgery yet but I have found myself venturing into the misses section and just imagining what it would be like to buy even size 12 clothing. Yayyy so excited.

You look great! Even though I'm a size small & size 1 in jeans I tend to look at plus size & say wait I'm a small. Sometimes sales ppl say your shopping for someone else.

It helps for me to shop with someone. I always want and tend to grab the larger sizes.... Can't figure out why the look funny lol then get told way to big. I'm a year and a month out and struggle with seeing the new me. I still see the woman squeezing in to size 28. Not the size 16.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
